Comment 12 for bug 903608

This bug is causing serious problems.

My son is using libreoffice on Ubuntu for school work. The school requires papers to be submitted in .doc format (yes, I know that sucks).

When he saves as .doc, text around the endnote references gets arbitrarily converted to superscript.

Opening the .doc file and fixing everything up (by highligting the bogus superscript text and turning off superscript) does not work, when the file is saved the text gets turned back to superscript.

Looking at the odt file I am seeing things like this in the document:

<text:span text:style-name="Endnote_20_anchor"><text:span text:style-name="T14"> While the West tends to vilify OPEC as having too much power and control over the world&apos;s oil reserves and prices, they forget that OPEC was formed in response to the </text:span></text:span>

So what is happening is there are strap Endnote style tags around a block of text. It looks like the in the .doc format the innermost style wins, whereas in the .doc rendering the outermost wins.
